If you were to be given some wicked power tools, plus a hammer, chisel, and axe, to craft, carve, and shape
the life of your wildest dreams, Jim, (if this were actually how you could get your
groove on), I’d bet you all the money in the world that you’d be really, really careful with each of your bangs, buzzes, and chops, huh? I mean, we both know how much you’d have riding on the line, right?Well, that same extraordinary care and precision should be exercised when using your imagination, choosing your words, and dancing life’s dance. Huh?

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities. Bruce Lee–

WORDS TO LIVE BY:

cre·ate-simply put, we create our world,
our opportunities.

I believe that creation, in our own lives, starts in our minds – in the ‘big picture’ vision we can create for ourselves,
and moreso, we create our world in the everyday thoughts that we have.

If we allow thoughts of worry and fear to constantly stream through our minds, we become frenetic, worried, nervous people.
Worry limits our vision to see good things, it limits us seeing the opportunities in life.

If we criticize others, if we’re judgmental of others, we create unhappiness, we create hostility, and we can even create
hate in our world. If we judge and criticize, we typically only see what is lacking or what falls short in others and ourselves. Those that judge and criticize others are often unhappy with others but often are also unhappy with themselves.

We can create. We can create almost anything, good or bad. We can create what we want but we must control our thoughts.
We must control the questions and the things that we say to ourselves each day – our self talk. Some say we have up to 60,000 thoughts a day. We can choose what those thoughts are – thoughts of worry or thoughts of love, thoughts of what we lack or thoughts
of abundance/expansion, thoughts of loneliness and resistance or friendship, laughter, or contribution…. our thoughts create actions.

It is easy to see when others asking negative questions, when they focus on the bad and what they lack, and when they judge
or criticize, and we can observe how worry creates an unpleasant world for someone. We can see from the outside how others create their realities by their thoughts but it takes just a moment more if we honestly look at ourselves, we can see that we’re also
guilty of many of these things.

Asking ourselves questions creates thought, thoughts create habits and beliefs, and actions come out of all of those things.
If we can catch ourselves when we ask a negative question or a question that is disempowering – we can interrupt the pattern. Make a conscious effort to ask yourself an empowering question. Turn an affirmation into a question.

Each thought we have is a brick in today’s reality. These bricks build up over time and if they’re thoughts of love, abundance,
possibility, support, hope, gratitude then we’ll have a significantly different experience than we would with anger, judgement, scarcity, worry, loneliness, criticism, and complaining.

If we create a vision, and revisit that vision often in our minds, we create that reality.

If we don’t consciously create a vision and let any random or negative thought into our minds, we also will create that
reality, for better or worse.

Creation can start with one thought, one decision to make a change.

Some of us start out with better or different circumstances in life but it has been proven time and time again by many women
and men that we can create a different and better reality. We can create opportunity and we can create the world around us – people, feelings, the physical things, happiness, etc.

Frey Freyday was actually born out of something
I created called “Words To Live By” (WTLB). Going forward, I will now not only share the quotes, as you may be used to receiving, but also a related (WTLB). In 1999, when we had our first daughter, I was contemplating how I would raise my new beautiful
child, and I was thinking about how I can best educate her and my other children about values, morals, and other key thoughts about life. School offers education. Religion offers some values and morals. Parents offer most of it, sometimes intentionally, sometimes
accidentally.

So I created a (WTLB) book, like a dictionary, which lists things like honesty, love, persistence, etc. with a definition that I created,
with my wife’s input. I then turned it into a workbook with one word per page and space below for notes. For years we would discuss with my two daughters and they would draw pictures and make notes in the blank space. I may share some of those images with
you. As they got older, they were less inclined to draw and more open to quotes and references from adults, hence where Frey Freyday came from…
